What ITS Does
Adds these technologies to the transportation system to save lives, time, and money by:
• Providing information on how well the network is operating and where problems are occurring for both network managers and users.
• Helping to manage the overall use of the available network capacity, both in terms of the infrastructure and modes available.
• Providing control functions that manage the movement of traffic in the network, and the operation of specific modes of travel.
